1 Hyde Park Presbyterian 1 Church ChurchMouse March 2016 LIVE IN COMMUNITY WITH US. Febrauary 25th and 26th, George and I attended the presbytery meeting at Covenant Presbyterian Cgurch in San Antonio. I am here to tell you that Mission Presbytery is alive and well. More than that, it is vibrant and growing. Over the past several months, the staff and a group of Teaching Elders (Pastors) and Ruling Elders (Elders of the local churches) have dealt with some very difficult and time consuming matters. They have negotiated the gracious separation of First Presbyterian Church, San antonio, and Leon Springs Presbyterian Church (San Antonio) from the PC(USA). They did this with intergrity, grace, and a firm commitment to witnessing to the love of God in Christ Jesus. Hearing of the work they had done and seeing the result of that work in action when the pastor of Leon Spring spoke to the gathered body filled me with renewed pride and thanksgiving that I am a part of such a church, the PC(USA). We did not just consider very serious and heart-wrenching matters. We also celebrated the ministeries of so many other dedicated people. We celebrated with Live Oak PC, a new church development, as they prepare to dedicate their first building March 6 and gave thanks to God for the spirit of renewal that is moving through Everlasting Hope PC. We heard from misionaries Melissa and Charles Johnson as they prepare to go to Zambia. We welcomed new ministers into Mission Presbytery, celebrated the ministry of retiring pastors, and joyfully approved the request of three applicants to become Candidates in the process toward ordination. We listened with excitement as Kathy Anderson told us about all the work being done to prepare John Knox Ranch for this summer s campers. Scholarships are availabe if you know of campers who would like to attend. We greeted friends and held hands and prayed and laughed and cried together. Through it all, there was a strong feeling that the Holy Spirit was in our midst, guiding, renewing, and transforming us and the presbytery that the world might become a sanctuary, a place of hope and possibility for all people. I give thanks to God that we are a part of Mission Presbytery for We are better together. Shalom, Linda

8 8 Pondering the Resurrection of the Lord by Mary Karr From the far star points of his pinned extemities, cold inched in black ice and squid ink till the hung flesh was empty. Lonely in that void even for pain, he missed his splintered feet, the human stare buried in his face. He ached for two hands made of meat he could reach to the end of. In the corpse s core, the stone fist of his heart began to bang on the stiff chest s door and breath spilled back into that battered shape. Now it s your limbs he comes to fill, as warm water shatters at birth riveting every way.
